House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Tuesday punted when asked whether she believes former Vice President Joe Biden (D) could defeat President Donald Trump in a general election contest.
“I don’t know, but we’ll see,” Waters replied when asked (by Just The News senior correspondent Nicholas Ballasy) if Biden, 77 has what it takes to win in November.
Waters noted that while she has not publicly announced her support for Biden or his Democrat presidential primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), it’s paramount that the nominee is able to unseat the president. “It’s not about who you like,” the California Democrat explained. “It’s about now watching and understanding who can beat Trump.”
Waters was then asked about Biden’s frequent gaffes on the campaign trail and whether his mental acuity is a cause of concern.
“Nobody has made more gaffes and told more lies than the president of the United States of America,” she quipped about President Trump. “How dare he talk about somebody’s gaffes?
President Trump has repeatedly highlighted Biden‘s gaffes, stating earlier this month the Democrat frontrunner doesn’t know “what office he’s running for.”
“Sleepy Joe doesn’t know where he is, or what he’s doing,” the president wrote on Twitter March 3rd. “Honestly, I don’t think he even knows what office he’s running for!” Biden has indeed mistaken the state he has campaigned in on multiple occasions.[…]
The rhetorical stumble was one of several in recent weeks. During a campaign stop in South Carolina, the former vice president declared himself a candidate for the “United States Senate.” At the start of his Super Tuesday speech in Los Angeles, Biden mixed up his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, with his sister, Valerie.
The pile-up of gaffes has prompted left-wing pundits to voice concerns about Biden’s mental health.
On Thursday, author Matt Stoller tweeted: “Democratic insiders know Biden has cognitive decline issues. They joke about it. They don’t care.” Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept, agreed with Stoller, adding, “The steadfast insistence on the part of Dems to just pretend this isn’t true and hope it somehow goes away is a staggering exercise in self-delusion.”
In an apparent effort to prevent further gaffes, Biden’s speeches have been cut down to as little as seven minutes.

Blog Author's Comments: When they say "I don't know if Biden can beat Trump", they are really saying; "We don't think so". Ms. Waters, if your IQ was somewhat normal, you would know that Biden has very little chance of defeating President Trump, baring all out voter fraud. How bad is it when even Waters thinks Joe has serious problems? Doesn't everyone feel secure knowing Maxine Waters is the "House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman"?
President Donald Trump is working extremely hard to create a better life for all Americans. Everyone should be supporting him in his effort. Unemployment is very low, our Oil and Gas industry has rebounded, America is now energy independent. His America First initiative is bringing manufacturing jobs back to America. He has had many successes, while fighting the Democrats and media during his entire first term in office.
